Sex workers as usual being stigmatized. I would love to see on the bbc how everyone on Tinder and grinder are busy meeting for sex hook-ups. I'm not making this up, my gay neighbour is getting laid every day thanks to grinder. I went myself into Tinder last week and got like 5 proposals for a sex hook up. I deleted the app because I can't bother, but hookers who have to support their children are the "evil ones"?

Yea I deleted my Tinder account because tired of telling guys on there there was no way I'd meet up at the mo. Like, dude, if I'm going to meet up for some bone, I'm going to be charging for it  ::)

I just read on The Independent website that the government are considering allowing two households to 'mix' from sometime in June in answer to whether people can have visitors to their house, not just meet outside in the park or whatever. Obviously that's not good for us and nothing doing about more rolled out visiting.

Yes, it's on the .gov website - I just Googled 'ask government questions' and it was the top result :)

Can we also try to steer clear of press speculation and stick to credible stuff that's direct from the proper sources, please? Even if there isn't any.

I take your point, but loads of people are in the same boat, and just because escorts can do bookings on the sly it doesn't make it right, versus e.g. a driving instructor who couldn't get away with it. If you've paid your tax, there is government help available, for a start.

Anyway, it sounds as if July 4th is looking like independence day for many people, and it's not that far away. Let's keep our fingers crossed there's no setbacks until then!

I don't think we will be "allowed" to get within 2 metres of people who we don't live in the same house as, even in July. They keep reiterating that all the distancing rules still apply and will apply, even when all businesses are open.

The bbc have just posted a video on YouTube about sex workers still meeting through lockdown they spoke to a lady on the phone and were showing new feedbacks on aw from past few weeks x

The feedback must have been from bookings prior to the beginning of April, cos AW removed the booking form - and the only way to leave escort feedback - back then.

Sent in the question too. Very easy. Hopefully they’ll get lots of people asking the same or similar seeing as though it was something they did completely skip over. Along with lots of other things.

If hotels are closed until July. (Which... they are). I’ll be advertising as outcalls. But that thought fills me with dread on its own. Haven’t done a house call in a while.
I’ve heard that apartments are also accepting mainly key workers or asking lots more questions as to why you’re booking.

I am assuming we can get back to work once people like tattoo artists and masseurs can, as these are all things that cannot be done from a distance and involve very close contact for long periods of time.  I will work again once they do.  This has to end at some point, otherwise half the country will go bust, and no tax to run the NHS.  Not everyone can get help under the various schemes the government has.

I am now inundated with my regular clients wanting to see me, but saying no at the moment, I am hoping for July now, and dont expect to work until then, hopefully I am wrong.

I'm carefully reading (again, but this time slowly)  the 50 pages government PDF and reading that "Retail and non essential businesses will re-open at the begining of phase 2". So far the government has said that if the rate of infection stays within "normal parameters" phase two will commence June 1st. As I posted above my physio and my chiropractor sent me emails stating their clinics would re-open again June 1st (pretty much in agreement with government policy). However...UKdomme if for whatever reason opening July 4th makes you feel safer, go for it. It's your health and your business, but officially your "non essential business" could be open by June 1st.

The PDF also states that restaurants, hospitality and hotels will be open it phase 3 (which is sometime in July)

The announcement earlier made it clear that any businesses in sectors like personal care and hospitality (where keeping 2m away from people would be difficult or impossible) would not be reopening before July 4th, as UKDomme has said above and as I (amongst other people) posted earlier on. She hasn't just pulled a date out of thin air.

Amy, I'm going through the government PDF as I type this, I'm not making it up (govnmt PDF page 21), besides, why would two big known physio and chiro clinics in central London email their clients regarding their June 1st opening?

I neither know nor care what your chiropractor is doing and why. I do have the relevant report information, though.

Phase Two (estimated to start no earlier than June 1st): Sectors such as “hospitality and personal care are not able to reopen at this point because the risk of transmission in these environments is higher,”

Phase Three (estimated to start no earlier than July 4th) "Personal care” businesses – aka beauty salons and hairdressers – could potentially reopen on July 4, subject to the infection level being low enough. They will also have to meet the Covid-19 Secure guidelines.

Also, “Some venues which are, by design, crowded and where it may prove difficult to enact distancing may still not be able to reopen safely at this point, or may be able to open safely only in part,”

There is nothing whatsoever about any of that that suggest we'll be legally allowed to work from the first of June. How much that matters to each individual is up to them, obviously.

I wonder if the SE support will be offered for the following 3 months.

It's a long time.
